All, please note that it is better not to look at the stiffness numbers of the Ax Alpha as it is a custom made frame. The frame tested is rather small and built for someone of around 60 kilos. If you would have yourself a frame build and you would for example weight 100 kilos you will get (if wanted) a total different bike which is still light but very stiff (it all depends on the tubes they use on your request). This was not clear from the test in Roadbike but no conclusions should be made on this basis on the Alpha´s stiffness numbers.

Total waste o time looking at those comfort or stiffness numbers. I doubt you can tell the difference between the three. One would have to be really out of spec and be a different material.Then there is the question of forks, wheel, tire pressure, stem length, bar size.If you want the stiffer frame get a frame that is one size smaller than you need in the material you like or go custom.
